(Life) Blogging anew

I am now going to be blogging from my tumblr account. I have found that it is easier to build a good following there, & interacting with other bloggers is easier on tumblr- at least for me. 
Just so everyone knows! I'm not disappearing, just in the process of moving.

(Life) Still Out There

I am still out here, I have just been very very busy.
I will soon, but not quite yet post some really good news- I want to wait for things to fall into place more. Right now I'm so happy & thankful.
Will be posting again soon!

(Life) Full time commitment

I wanted to share this with you all because sometimes it's nice to know what bloggers actually do besides blog. 
I work on my art & my blog part time, & work at a "real job" full time. 
My art & my blog are fun for me & my passion, & having a steady, reliable job is my other passion. I enjoy work, I honestly do. It gives me a sense of pride in myself. 
My art & my blog provide me with an outlet to be creative. 
Being a creative person doesn't mean you only have to want to have a job with art or fashion, in fact your creativity can give you a skill set that will greatly benefit you at any job. I love working, & then being able to come home & work on my art. Knowing I have a bunch of things I know how to do gives me confidence. 
I'm also writing this because, if you have just graduated college like me, you've probably realized that the world of "going to school" & the world of "I graduated & now I work" are completely different and change, even though it's in this case very good- can be extremely overwhelming! 
I'm grateful to have an excellent support system, and these are the things they have told me: 
-be proud of what you've accomplished
-it's okay to be nervous
-don't get too ahead of yourself
-count your blessings you already have
-life works out 
-don't stop your passions (like me, I keep working on my art! :D) 
-you do not need a job that matches your degree. (This is very true, all kinds of jobs can make you happy, and they make me happy) 
-don't give up. 
About that last tip, don't give up looking for a job. Sometimes it takes a while, but you can do it, anyone can do it. 
Hopefully I've shown at least someone that bloggers do normal things besides what they put on their blog, & maybe helped another recent college grad feel more confident :) 

Good luck to everyone, & may we all find happiness!
